GRAIN PRICES CHICAGO, Aug. 5. Any back-down by the Russians in Poland will mean a bresk in grain: otherwise the market displays bullish excitement based n war talk, corn belt dry, bad Lecount report from southern Illinois, strong cash grain prices, failure of Illinois to receive rain, more Canadian damage news, large wheat import needs of Italy, and small corn receipts. On weather and foreign news bulls may buy on dips against Friday. It is difficult to believe that the Russians contemplate any further advance in Poland. CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W.

LINCOLN'S BIRTHPLACE WITHIN THE BUILDING THAT HAS BEEN ERECTED TO HOUSE IT

Other presidents than Abraham Lin coin have risen from a log cabin to the white house; other presidents also were of humble birth; but none other has walked so humbly in high places. No honor, no power, could exalt him above his native simplicity; a common man who could walk with kings nor lose the common touch. Lincoln was cast in a new mold. The first president born beyond the boundaries of the 13 original states, with no traditions of a colonial or Old World origin, he was in truth. New birth of our new soil, the first American. Although he is believed now to have been descended from the New England Lincolns, so far as he himself knew or cared he entered life in a Ken tucky log cabin, "unprivileged, unan cestried, unknown," with his mother s arms his only cradle, the lonely forest his playground. . His father "a wan dering laboring boy," learned to write his name and to spell his way through the Bible only from his wife, Nancy Hanks, a poor orphan like himself, who sank into an early grave under the crushing hardships of home making in the Indiana wilderness, to which the family had moved. The good woman who came to take her place and who sanctified the name of stepmother found that the 10-year-old boy. growing up like a weed, had forgotten how to write, and that there had never been a book or newspaper in the cabin. Lincoln never attended school a year all told. Life was his school and he was his own teacher, doing his sums with a piece of charcoal on a wooden shovel, and borrowing all the books for many miles around. Reading while he plowed, he recited to his horses and declaimed from a tree stump his fellow field hands. A youthful giant in strength and stature he was 6 feet 4 at 19 he was hired out by his father to more prosperous neighbors. He swung the axe and the scythe, wielded the flail, slaughtered hogs or poled flat boats on the great rivers. But already he stood apart and alone in the midst of the crowd with whom he toiled and joked. His thoughts and dreams had borne him out of their forest world and far away from the day's work. Going with his father to the newer frontier in Illinois, he helped him build another log cabin, clear another farm and he split the rails for fencing it in. He was now past 21, and he started out in the world for himself, with an axe over his shoulder and all of his belongings tied up in a red bandana handkerchief. Mauling rails, flatboating, surveying, captaining a company in the Black Hawk war, keeping store, choring about New Don't Dig Spuds Yet E. E. RICE, Garden Supervisor Digging potatoes now is a waste, except where they are to be used immediately in the home or sold at a good price on the market. Potatoes continue to grow until the vines are dead, and the longer they are allowed to stay in the ground the more pounds are being stored up. Only small quantities should be dug early in the season. In every case where the crop is grown entirely for home use the tubers should be left in the ground until autumn. The price of potatoes will no doubt be hish again this winter, and the growing crop should be given every advantage to mature properly so it can be stored successfully. Harvesting of the potato crop that is to be stored for winter use must be delayed until after frost. If potatoes are dug in the summer they will only keep a short time. Digging potatoes with a hoe or other sharp implement should be discouraged, for wherever the surface is cut or broken the tuber is exposed to organisms that cause rapid decay. Where there are only a few rows to be harvested in the home garden the common flat, tined spading potato fork or the hoe fork may be ued. By careful forking, forcing the fork into the ground outside of the hill, practically every potato can be dug up without injury, and if not bruised in handling while they are being removed from the Held and stored every one should keep all winter. If potatoes are allowed to remain on the ground an hour and a half after digging they will keep much better. This toughens the skin and they are not so liable to be bruised. This also gives the tubers a chance to dry, and most of the dirt will fall off, which adds much to the appearance as well as improving the keeping quality. ACTOR LEAVES STAGE TO AID POOR CHILDREN COPENHAGEN, Aug. 5.

IND THURSDAY, AUG. 5, 1920.

Our Presidents MORGAN 1809 Feb. 12, Abraham Lincoln, born to Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, near Hodgenville, LaRue County, La. 1816 Moved to Indiana. 1818 Mother died. 1819 Marriage of his father and Mrs. Sarah Bush Johnson. 1830 Moved to Illinois. 1831 Went to New Salem, III. 1833 Postmaster at New Salem... 1835 Death of Ann Rutledge, his first love. Salem, a log hamlet on the Sangamon river where for a time he was postmaster with his hat for a postoffice he remained a homeless man of odd jobs until his 28th year. The sympathetic hearts of New Sa lem had been touched by a great sorrow that came to him in the death of his sweetheart, Ann Rutledge, an auburn-haired daughter of the tavern keeper. Lincoln grieved for her until his friends feared for his mind. He confessed that he did not dare for months to trust himself with a pocket knife. Slowly he emerged from his despondency, but the shadow lingered. Lincoln remained ever a primitive man in his emotions and sympathies, never rising superior to the pangs and appeals of the heart. He could always cry. Although New Salem reckoned him a failure, he had always paid his way, and ever had stood ready to help others, whether it was to put his powerful shoulder to the wheel of a stalled wagon; to cut firewood for a widow; to watch the sick or rock the cradle for a wreary mother. Through his seeming shiftlessness, a moral dignity shone, and to all the villagers the quaint, jesting, clean living, kindly man was "Honest Abe." The bustling planters and builders of New Salem did not suspect that this dreamer who loitered in their lanes was planning and building for all time and that their village would be remembered only because it had chanced to be a station in his pro gress. For. like Peter the Great, who ' stepped down from his throne and in i disguise went to work among the 1 masses, Abraham Lincoln in those api parently aimless years was in reality 1 though unconsciously an apprentice in the leadership of the people whose life he was living. There out of poverty and toil and sorrow, the character of the man was woven. Say It With Flowers ft LEMON'S FLOWER SHOP 1015 Main Street Phone 1093 72 MAIN ST (UCHMOna Iri?

Veteran Russian Reformer

Discouraged at Prospect For A Reunited Russia (By Associated Press) CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 5 Nikolai Tschaikowski, the veteran Russian reformer, has arrived in roTntanM. nople from Crimea much discouraged as 10 me immediate prospect for a reunited Russia, He was a member of General Denikine's council of ministers which was precipitately thrown out when General Denikine surrendered the command of the South Russian forces to Baron Wrangell. He believes the group now in control in Crimea is too reactionary to rally the reform forces of Russia. Before joining the Denikine government at Ekaterinodar six months ago, M. Tschaikowski was a member cf the committee in Paris which was working for the perpetuation of Russia and numbered Prince Lvov, Sazonoff, Maklakoff, Savinkoff and Bakmetieff among its membership. M. Tschaikowski was also president of the ill-fated Archangel Republic. For over 50 years M. Tschaikowski has been a Russian reformer. He was banished several times. In the seventies he went to America with his wife and was one of twenty Russians who started a new religion and established a colony near Independence, Kansas. That experiment lasted only two years. "I had my lesson In communism then," declared M. Tschaikowski. "After we steeled up our colony's finances I had about $200. I went to Philadelphia where I got work as a carpenter in a shipyard. I was there for more than a year and went back to Russia. But I have been In America many times since and have lectured in nearly all parts of the country." M. Tschaikowski wears a Inns- whtt beard and bears such a striking resemoiance to the late Count Leo Tolstoi that he attracts much attention in any crowd. French Bring About Peace and Order In Thrace at Small Cost (By Associated Press) ADRIANOPLE, Aug. 5.
